Display image from filesystem

[Pmarcoen]

I seem to have a problem displaying an image from the phone's filesystem.

The following code works for images that are in the res folder but not if the path references to a file on the filesystem ..

path = "file:///C:/Data/Images/200908/25082009004.jpg";
try {
image = Image.createImage(path);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
imageItem = new ImageItem(null,image,ImageItem.LAYOUT_CENTER,"Imag e not found");
form.append(imageItem);

Do I need to use an inputStream ?
If so, how ?

You need the (optional) JSR-75: the FileConnection API. Note that this API is available on only a few high-end devices.

I actually AM using the FileConnection API (ok apparently I can't post the link to the site where I got the code because I don't have enough posts .. I'm gonna try to do it anyway by stripping some stuff, add .html after : j2mesamples.blogspot.com/2009/02/file-connection-using-j2me-api-jsr-75)

The thing is, if I'm in the else of the displayCurrentRoot function, that checkes whether the element of the file list is a folder or an item (jpg), I want it to display my image.

Normally it would just display the item's name with the currentDir variable like so :

append(currentDir,null);

Now I tried :

Image img = Image.createImage(currentDir);
append(currentDir,img);

which didn't work, so I tried the entire path :

String path = currentRoot.getURL() + currentDir;
Image img = Image.createImage(path);
append(currentDir,img);

Your help is appreciated !
